OpenVPN only works if both sides are time syncronized to within some
fairly small interval.  I've lost touch with one unit because it failed to
get an accurate time.

I use both OpenVPN and vtun.  I set up vtun to connect back to me, with no
encryption or compression, then firewall it to allow only ssh.

That way if anything goes wrong with OpenVPN I can still ssh in with vtun
and clean up.  But for generic connections - if you want to use rsync,
etc, OpenVPN works like a charm.
